Just do it…

Seth Godin and Linchpin

Just do it…

Seth Godin tells us (tells me!) to do things – not only thinking of things.

LINCHPIN So I am reading his book Linchpin.
May this change me into a real doer?

What is innovativeness?

I asked Rolf Jensen (of Dream Company):

What do we actually mean with INNOVATIVENESS?
Can it at all be measured?
What does it take to define a person, a group, a company or a region (city/country) as truly innovative?

Rolf Jensen answered:

Dear Petter Kolseth,
Innovation is used in a lot of ways, I do not believe we can measure it. To me an innovative person/company is one that can put together things or ideas – that other people haven’t thought about. My favourite quote just now is this: “Unless, there is a consensus that it is nonsense what you are doing, it is not a breakthrough” (by Burt Rutan, the guy with SpaceShipOne)
